Winter is fast approaching and so is the time for us to check our electric blankets for any fault. Rescue Service and West Sussex Fire will conduct free testing events from 21st October to 1st November. You can catch them on October 31 (Thursday) at The Silver Birch Centre, Shackleton Road, Crawley RH10 5DF.
Reports say that around 1,000 fire accidents happen out of electric blankets of which many get injured or even killed. Any blanket that is more than ten years old needs to be replaced with a new one although it has not shown any sign of risk. Bookings can be done from September 30 and appointment is available from 9.30am to 1pm and from 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Call on 01243 642124 to find out the nearest venue for the electric blanket testing.
